Reviews from other clients throughout North Georgia –

Brian, we received our discharge paperwork today. We wanted to thank you again for all your help and advice. You are a really kind and good person who does more than a “job”. We learned so much and value your hard work. We wanted to make certain you know how much you are appreciated. Please also thank your staff as they are amazing and we could not have accomplished this without their help as well. With gratitude, Marc and Kerri

When we visited the law office of Perrotta & Cahn, we were very much in need of professional assistance. We had no idea what our options would be. Mr Cahn looked at the information we provided, he gave us his professional opinion, but most of all Mr. Cahn answered our questions. He made us feel very at ease through our situation and his staff is always available to answer questions. Mr. Cahn continued answering our questions and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process which included office visits and court appearances. We have and will continue referring our friends and family members to Perrotta & Cahn. Darin & Donna B, Paulding County, GA

Perrotta & Cahn is a top tier law firm with a friendly, easy going way of taking care of business. Brian Cahn has been our go-to guy for personal and now our business legal matters since 2003. He is a pro. GHH – Hiram, GA

I cannot say enough about the law firm of Perrotta & Cahn, specifically my attorney, Mr. Brian Cahn. I was referred to Brian Cahn through a close friend who used his services earlier.

Unfortunately, I was experiencing severe financial difficulty, and I needed to inquire about the possibility of declaring bankruptcy. I was already upset and embarrassed that I was in this situation. However, upon meeting Brian, and explaining my situation to him, I began to feel comfortable and reassured. Brian explained that he would work hard to provide the best outcome for me. He is also an excellent strategist.

Brian was always readily available whenever I had questions or concerns. He is a consummate professional who I felt was extremely dedicated to my case. The services provided to me by Brian Cahn have been invaluable. I also felt his prices were reasonable and fair. The office staff was also very professional and courteous.

Should anyone I know need the services of an attorney, without hesitation, I will always highly recommend Mr. Brian Cahn, of Perrotta, Cahn. Dominic R. – Atlanta, GA

At the darkest time of our lives a very good friend recommended Brian Cahn to help us. We were scared, unsure of how to proceed and unfamiliar with the process. Brian treated us with respect, led us each step of the way and answered all of questions and concerns. He stood beside us and for us in a way that we will never forget. He represented us with integrity and consideration. To say that we highly recommend him is an understatement. We recommend only him and it is our privilege to do so. Pam and Tony W. – Canton GA

My family and I found ourselves in a situation that was unique for us and required a swift decision. Working with Mr. Stephens and Mr. Cahn proved to be efficient, professional, and reliable. The peace-of-mind this law firm gave my family was priceless.”

Good luck and best wishes. We owe you a debt of gratitude – but that’s the only debt we have left!! (pardon the pun). KK and RK

Bankruptcy isn’t the right solution for every client, but some of the primary advantages of bankruptcy include:

Ability to discharge income taxes that came due more than 3-years ago. For example: Client filed her 2011 income tax return on or before the April 15th, 2012 deadline; i.e., she did not file an extension. After April 15th of 2015 (3-years after the original due-date), those 2011 taxes – and any older tax liabilities – become completely dischargeable in bankruptcy. If an extension was filed, her 2011 income taxes are dischargeable after October 15th of 2015.

Ability to consolidate non-dischargeable taxes (newer taxes, payroll taxes, and sales taxes, for example) into a 60-month repayment plan with absolutely no penalties. Furthermore, provisions in Georgia and Federal law suggest that trust-fund obligations only flow-through to a responsible corporate individual if the failure to remit was “willful.” Bankruptcy court provides a venue to challenge these taxes if the responsible individual was sufficiently removed from the day-to-day financial operations of the business.

Ability to eliminate tax liens for pennies on the dollar. When the I.R.S. files a tax lien against you, that tax lien encumbers ALL of your property. The only ways to get the tax lien released are (1) to pay the taxes in full, with interest and penalties; (2) get the IRS to agree to an offer in compromise (easier said than done), or (3) eliminate the lien and the taxes through Chapter 13 bankruptcy

For example: Client has an I.R.S. tax lien in the amount of $25,000 for 2005, 2006 and 2007 unpaid taxes. By filing a Chapter 13, Client can reduce her tax lien to the liquidation value of her personal property and equity in real estate, if any. Frequently, this value is less than $5,000. Therefore, we can eliminate the tax lien by paying $5,000 (or less) through the plan, based on Client’s ability to pay, as long as the repayment plan does not exceed 60-months. In our example, Client could pay $100 per month for 50 months. At the end of the Chapter 13 plan, the tax debt is discharged and the I.R.S. must cancel the lien.

Ability to offset 1099-C income resulting from a creditor’s cancellation of indebtedness. This “phantom income” is problematic because it usually impacts those taxpayers who can least afford to pay additional taxes. If the taxpayer filed a bankruptcy and discharged the underlying indebtedness, he or she may file a Form 982 and eliminate that tax attribute.
